Ready or not

Baby #3 is well on his/her way.

Sorry for the creepy ultrasound picture…but it’s the law of blogging-you-are-pregnant…you must share the ultrasound picture.

I’m due March 19th…so I’ll have 3 babies born in March…so every March we’ll be the party house and sick of cake. :) We are really excited…I’m not feeling ready for 3 kids, but it will come. To celebrate I started a baby quilt that I’m not quite sure about:

I’m trying to jump out of my color comfort zone…but it might be a mistake. I’ll show you even if it is...unless it's really bad.

hey congratulations allison! i'm due march 14 so i'm right there with ya. hope you're feeling ok. will you find out baby's gender? i'm taking a poll on my blog - we never find out but i kinda want to this time ... hmmm!

Oh yay! Babies are such blessings. Although, I am happy it's you and not me...I already have 3 ;) (all boys!!!) Wishing you a healthy and easy~going pregnancy! Oh, and I have no doubts that the quilt you are working on will be fabulous. Smiles~Beth

all 3 of my children were born in July (within 10 days), and that is exactly how we feel! Party, party, party, cake, cake, cake! My birthday is in August, and by that time, everyone is too sick of birthdays to care! =)

Congrats!! I have two boys under three and know I'm not ready for a third, but I'm starting to get baby fever!! (Ticking biological clock?) Maybe I'll just live vicariously through you and all the other bloggers having babies soon. Good luck with your pregnancy!! :)

Congrats! I remember being pregnant with #3 as a bit overwhelming (two little children to take care of), but his babyhood was wonderful (two little helpers to fetch, carry, and clean up!) I am glad it is you and not me, as I have had six, and the youngest is now 16 (but I also run a daycare of eleven children!!) Take good care of yourself!! You know that only you can, and your whole family is depending on you. Best wishes!

three is a great number, I had a boy then two girls just 18 mo apart. My youngest daughter just had her first, a boy and two girls, TRIPLETS! It is a bit overwhelming right now but will be oh so much fun in a year or so!

Congratulations Allison!!! I am thrilled for you and your growing family. Isn't it amazing the age we live in when we can SEE our baby growing!!! How amazing is that? I wish you more delights and joy than you ever thought your heart could hold!!!

Congratulations!!! Hope everything goes well and you are feeling good!! From my experience, the first 2 kids are the hardest, #3 and #4 (you probly don't want to think about that) were much easier to get used to. You're already in the routine and have all the baby stuff you need, and depending on the ages of the others, you can get at least a little help from them. Looking forward to seeing your "out of your comfort zone color" quilt!

Congratulations!!! I'm due in March with baby #2. I hope you are feeling well. I've got my fabrics pulled and an idea what I want to do, but I'm haven't found the motivation to actually start a quilt for this little one. Can't wait to see what you make!!

Congratulations!! You must have some great summers to have three kids born in March ;) hahahahaI love creepy ultrasounds, it just highlights how special babies are and how amazing the whole process is.Take it easy,Lucy x

Congratulations! My daughter's birthday is in March, so when my sons due date was March 1st my mom said you have to have him in February, so they don't have the same month for birthdays! He was born Feb. 28th!

Congratulations! the 3rd is the bonus! My best friend just found out she is pregnant with number 3 and she is 43! She is still in shock since she has a 3yr. and an 13 month old. I say better in your 40's than not at all!!! Can't wait to see the new quilt!

Congratulations! I'm due with my second on March 17. My son's third birthday is 6 days after that. So I'm right there with you with the March birthdays. :-) I don't think your ultrasound pic is creepy. I think the really creepy ones are of the face. :-)

Congratulations to you and your family, there is nothing like a new baby to remind you of what matters most! I am a mom of 9...and really after 3 i could of have kept on going and then reality hit and I realized that it was not just a baby, but it was 18 more years of raising kids and so we quit. That said, I loved those years and every other phase of mothering too...beware they go so fast and then they are gone.

Congratulations to you! My third child arrived last week. Things have definitely changed around here, but for the better. Of course starting out with twins kind of makes the third a little bit easier. ;) I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and I can't wait to see your quilt, I am sure it will be amazing!

FUN! My three boys are all born in February and you're right...you will be sick of cake! We have a huge birthday bash for everyone in between the birthdays. Be prepared for everyone to do backwards math on March minus 9 months :)

Congrats I am pregnant with my fifth and my due date is April 6. My fourth's due date was the 7th of April. So I could possibly have two kids with the exact birthday just three years a part- it'll be interesting to see what happens. All the best.

Congratulations! March is a great month. My daughter and I were both born in March. Did you plan this timing? All 3 in March. A co-worker had 3 boys born in June. 2 on the same day 2 years apart and the 3rd one was born a year later and one day. They planned it that way and the 3rd one didn't cooperate momma said. ;o)

Congratulations! It's a doddle 2/3 children, you're already in the zone so number 3 just fits right on in. We hardly noticed our third he just blended in with the rest of the chaos! And d'you know a more placid contented person I've yet to meet, so no worries (he's nearly 21 now)!I'm not sure about that leaving your colour comfort zone, that is seriously scary! ♥

When I found out I was pregnant last time I was so happy and then I found out it would be a March bday and I cried our immediate family has 7!!! March birthdays!!!! No one looks forward to March or the weight loss after.

Congratulations!! I have 3 kids with birthdays in September so we have just gotten through another year of birthdays:) It was good when they were younger though as we could just have a huge "combined" party but they don't want to do that anymore.

I was not aware of the ultrasound posting law--noone tells me these things! :) I suppose I still have time though, my 1st is due in Jan. Congrats! hmmm, I just realized that the hubs bday is in feb, mine's St. Patty's day, so we'll have 3 months in a row of bdays!

Congratulations to you and your family!! That's so exciting! I just had our #3 in June and it hasn't been as much harder than having 2 as I expected - still an adjustment, but not as bad - I had another boy though, and I've heard girls can be a bit more of a handful. Best wishes! Can't wait to see what you do with the quilt - regardless!

Congratulations!!! Always so exciting to find out about a new baby!In my family, we have 7 birthdays in September! Soooo fun, so crazy and SO MUCH CAKE!!Happy, healthy wishes for you and that new baby!!

Holy cow!! How did I miss this post?!?! Congrats Allison! The boys must be so excited! Maybe it will be a little girl. Every little girl needs two strong big brothers to protect her! Congrats again! Can't wait to see what quilts you dream up for this little one! Jenn

congrats! my first and only child (at least so far) was born this March 19th and in our country this is also Father's day, so it's double party!i hope all goes well in your pregnancy! yeiii for March babies!

Ha ha, I understand the sick of cake comment! We have 3 birthdays in Jan and one Dec 30th. We're always trying new ideas: candybar cake(with a styrofoam base in the center), rice krispy cake, cheesecake, etc. Anything for a little variety in those 30 days with 4 birthdays! :-)

You are amazing, but don't feel guilty taking it easy when you need to. You deserve it.
